Cold night for alligators - Roky Erickson

It’s a cold night for alligators

It’s a cold night for dogs

The dogs choke on their barking

When they see alligator persons in the bog and fog

It’s a cold night for alligators

When men turn into them in the night

It’s a cold night for alligators

It’s a cold night for their might

It’s a cold night for alligators

Hiding behind the trees with moss

Forever hear the swamp birds screaming

Forever in loss

It’s a cold night for alligators

In the blend

It’s a cold night for alligators

A perfect monster has no end
